How Are Winter Tires Different?
Winter tires are crafted from a uniquely soft rubber compound designed to withstand temperatures below 7°C. Unlike summer, performance, or all-season tires, winter tires stay flexible and responsive in harsh weather conditions, and feature deep, heavy-duty tread patterns to help your vehicle stand its ground when the road gets slippery. Because of this, keeping up with your seasonal tire changes is a matter of safety, so it’s best to book a tire change with our qualified specialists sooner than later–this is also a good tip for avoiding the last-minute appointment rush once the snow starts to fall!
When Should You Change to Winter Tires?
Late October to early November is generally a good time of year to think about changing your tires, as this also lets you take advantage of the various tire rebates offered by many of Canada’s most popular brands. However, the most important factor to be on the lookout for is when temperatures consistently trend around 7°C and below. Keep an eye on the forecast in your area and book your appointment accordingly to avoid sudden spikes in temperature that will impact your winter tires’ ability to function safely.
